Can I use ascendancy points like regular skill points, or do I HAVE to use them in the ascendancy tree?
You have to use them for ascendancy. They're a different type of points.
Reeeee

Sorry, I'm sperging, but I fucking hate the entire Ascendancy shit. Everything about it.
nah, honor is a bulshit mechanic. when i did my third ascendancy i was down to 1000 honor for the most difficult part of it. there's no other part of the game that requires you to stack honor resistance or not get hit at all.

in other news, just found my first div :positive:got killed taking the screenshot, but who fucking cares nigga we rich :dance:

great... ran out of honor during 3rd ascendancy against some scorpion boss and fast projectile traps spamming around. wtf is this shit.
How do I get to do another try? Beat chimera again or is it random?
Can I save my progress? This shit takes forever.
Also how do I beat bulshido scorpion so I wont have to go through this again. Im actualy considering just not going through this again, I hate honor mechanics. Give me back izaro

honour was bullshit especially before it got fixed/nerfed
for my witch it was easy since I can just kill enemies 2 screens away unlike melee which risk taking damage more easily

heard melee is quite shit for now in poe2 for pretty much everything, range more safer + faster :?

Why? It's just basically a specialized prestige class sort of thing that gives you a few points on some pretty decent nodes to help a type of build along.

To help the type of build they want you to build along.

Why? There's a tree with a thousand fucking nodes to choose from. At least let me spend the points on those.

I don't even get to pick the path in the ascendancy, you are eventually going to get enough points to buy everything in the tree.

Better yet, take the nodes out of the ascendancies, delete them entirely, and just put them into the tree that already exists, just like every other node. You can spec into one, or not. You can spec into it as deeply as you want, or grab one particular thing that suits your build. You know, an RPG of sorts.

Don't bother unlocking any of them and just level up. "Problem" solved.

One thing about chaos witch is that I can see all the mechanics of even endgame magic monsters and need to dodge their aoe attacks, game plays like first 3 acts for everyone. Even boss fights take so long I can die to their attacks if I fail my dodges.
Too bad almost every other build cruises through endgame and I doubt they are going to nerf everyone to chaos dot level.
I need to respec into summoner but I got no useful summoner gear with plus minion levels or even a useful scepter for this level.
Maybe I just make one of the OP deadeye builds and join the metaslaves.
I need to be able to earn resources to be able to make janky zdps builds like chaos dot

You only get 8 ascendancy points and usually there is double that to pick from.

TedNugent how is that retarded? You have to go out of your way to do the content that unlocks ascendancy points. So just don't. Your bitching is retarded.

Or if you absolutely must do this because of some complete defect in your firmware, play a ranger and go pathfinder since they have a node that just gives you 5 normal points.
